Comment on Reflections on 2013 Boston Marathon by Keith Seckel

Well said John — as someone posted yesterday on facebook: “If you’re trying to defeat the human spirit, marathoners are the wrong group to target.”

As we lace up our shoes we will all, as you said: “send a clear message that you can’t take away our streets or our dreams”

Thanks for everything GFR brings to Salem and the surrounding community!

Hi, sounds like a great plan! I will be running my first half this coming March, but I am not planning on doing the walk/run method. Is your plan feasible for running only, too?

Great information! Thank you for breaking the mileage down into manageable segments and explaining your reasoning. As a very new and inexperienced runner, I am certainly going to apply this advice to my first half in January at WDW.

Hi Andi –
Congratulations on your accomplishments! Your report is so encouraging! Thank you for taking the time to write and send. I’m delighted to hear it has worked out well for you and has strengthened your belief in yourself, in both hiking and running. You will find, in time, your experiences as a direct or indirect result of the clinic will have positive carry-over to many more aspects of life. Thanks again!
Cheers! Susan

PS – I too, am sending positive, healing thoughts and strength to all in Colo. Bless them all!

Comment on Which Group Do I Belong In? by Susan

Hi Kris – thanks for your inquiry. Yes, you can expect your pace to improve if you are consistent with homework. If you are on pace, comfortably, with the Cougar group then you are right where you need to be and it would be counter-productive to walk with the Jaguar group. However, it is fine for you to do the Jaguar homework on your own, at your own pace. Perfect!

Right now, starting at the beginning of the clinic, I am pacing at the Cougar level. Should I exepct my pace to increase if I am consistent with the homework. I have been doing the Jaguar homework for the last week and find it to be pretty easy. I thought I would continue doing that, but my pace seems too slow to join that group. What do you think?
